I realize it must seem weird that I am sharing this local news story, but the reason I am sharing it is the part at the end, something that I have really been dreading:

After he was arrested Obua was treated at a local hospital. While he was there he spoke with a nurse and told her that there was a “multimillion-dollar money scam going on between a couple of doctors in the same office as the victim,” court records state. “He made reference to the CEO that was shot and killed most recently in New York City and stated that this situation was very similar.”

I absolutely sympathize with what Luigi Mangione did, but I have been worried since it happened that it would spur copycats who might not be so discerning or might hit a target that (probably) does not deserve it.

Thankfully, in this case, the doctor was not killed.

For what it's worth, reviews of the doctor seem to be either he's amazing or he's terrible, but nothing about money.
